My attributes are increasing infinitely

Chapter 405: The world tree finished it’s evolution

Ethan stood alone in the endless darkness, his figure small against a sky that did not belong to any sky he had ever known.

He looked toward the distant fluctuations ahead.

Powerful auras rippled there, distorted and oppressive, like living shadows moving beneath the skin of reality itself.

They were natives of this negative plane of existence.

Ethan narrowed his eyes.

They were strong, undeniably so, but not strong enough to warrant immediate action. From the fluctuations of their laws and the density of their origin signatures, he quickly judged their level.

Progenitor realm.

Ethan exhaled slowly.

”There is no need to fight,” he murmured.

He raised his hand.

The space around him rippled silently as he infused the Law of Entropy into the invisible barrier encasing his body.

Entropy was decay. Entropy was inevitability.

Within that barrier, all ordered detection collapsed into meaningless noise. Energy waves lost coherence.

Unless origin paragons or higher beings from this inverse plane descended personally, no one here would be able to do anything to him.

Not even touch him.

Ethan remained calm.

His goal in this world was not battle. Not yet.

He wanted time.

He wanted to complete cycles of refining himself.

The more cycles he completed, the closer he came to perfecting his understanding of inverse existence. Rushing into unnecessary conflict would only alert the true predators of this realm.

That would be foolish.

He expanded his control further.

The Ultimate Domain bloomed silently.

Unlike before, this domain was no longer pure. It now carried the Law of Entropy as its core foundation. The space within it behaved exactly as it did in the positive plane of existence.

Finally, Ethan detached himself from the surrounding dimensional layer.

The separation was absolute.

To those outside, this space no longer existed.

The progenitors could patrol for eternity and never find him.

Moments later, the air twisted violently nearby.

A portal opened.

Inverse beings emerged.

Their forms were wrapped in layers of blackened armor grown directly from negative matter. Their eyes glowed faintly with hollow crimson light.

One of them raised a crystalline device embedded into its arm. Runes flickered across its surface as it scanned the surroundings.

”Nothing is here,” the being said calmly. ”Looks like some unwanted rats have entered. The signal clearly indicated a portal from the positive world. We need to inform the higher authorities.”

They lingered for a moment longer, scanning again.

Nothing.

They turned and vanished.

Ethan watched silently.

His brows furrowed.

”The negative plane has developed specialized detection devices for interplane portals,” he thought. ”I wonder if the positive plane has something similar.”

The idea unsettled him slightly.

Still, he allowed himself a small breath of relief.

As long as the truly powerful beings did not arrive soon, everything remained under control.

Unfortunately, luck had never been one of Ethan’s greatest allies.

The origin world from which he had entered the inverse plane belonged to the Genesis Vampires.

And that made everything worse.

Within that domain, Eternal Sovereign realm vampires had already gone mad searching for him. To them, Ethan was not just an intruder. He was prey that had slipped from their grasp.

They mobilized immediately.

They contacted the local authorities of the inverse plane.

They requested cooperation.

Ten days passed.

Ethan opened his eyes.

Something had changed.

A familiar aura brushed against his senses.

His gaze sharpened instantly.

Genesis vampire aura.

”So they really came. I had a hunch that the powerful races has their own method to enter the inverse plane,” Ethan muttered. ”And there are many of them.”

He extended his perception carefully.

Eternal Sovereign realm beings.

Several of them.

Fortunately, they were positive plane entities.

Because of the Law of Entropy, they could not sense him either.

Still, the situation had escalated.

”If it comes to that,” Ethan thought coldly, ”I will kill everyone here.”

But that was not the true danger.

The true danger was what their presence might attract.

The inverse plane was not blind.

The vampires searched tirelessly.

”Where can he go?” one of them snarled. ”He is an uninvited existence. The detection system should work flawlessly.”

They searched again.

Nothing.

After some time, unwilling to provoke higher inverse authorities further, they withdrew.

Silence returned.

A voice echoed softly within Ethan’s consciousness.

”Master,” the World Tree said, its tone steady and respectful. ”I still require twenty more days to complete my evolution. Once finished, you will be able to transform me into a true World Tree. In that form, you will be capable of fighting inverse beings as if they were positive entities.”

Ethan’s eyes gleamed faintly.

”Is that so?”

He did not answer immediately.

Another thought weighed heavily on his mind.

His system.

It had been dormant this entire time.

Sleeping.

Unawakened.

The timing was strange.

Normally, it would have responded by now.

Ethan considered awakening it manually.

But just as he was about to initiate the process, a subtle sense of wrongness brushed against his instincts.

Wait.

He frowned.

He had always trusted his sixth sense.

So he stopped.

”I can wait,” he said quietly.

Five days later,

Ethan’s eyes snapped open.

”This is bad.”

He turned sharply toward a distant direction.

An overwhelming pressure was approaching.

An Origin Paragon of the inverse realm.

Not only that.

The moment it arrived, it sensed something unnatural hidden within this region.

Ethan could have left.

He should have left.

But he did not.

Instead, a dangerous thought surfaced.

”If I kill it,” he thought, ”and let the World Tree devour it, then I will no longer need to fear even source authority beings.”

This was a gamble.

But Ethan was already nearing the top of the food chain of this cosmic cage.

The inverse Origin Paragon appeared, accompanied by two Eternal Sovereign realm Genesis Vampires.

Something felt off.

”I sense something hidden here,” the inverse paragon said slowly.

The vampires exchanged looks.

”We knew it,” one of them said grimly. ”That bastard is hiding. He must be using some kind of supreme concealment.”

They looked forward.

And then, reality rippled.

Someone appeared before them like a ghost.

”Goodbye, kiddos.”

Ethan smiled mockingly.

His sword flashed.

They did not even have time to scream.

Three heads fell.

The bodies collapsed silently.

At that exact moment, all detection devices across the region began to scream.

An uninvited powerful existence was roaming within the inverse plane.

Elimination protocols activated instantly.

But Ethan did not wait.

He tossed the corpse of the inverse Origin Paragon toward the World Tree.

”Finish your evolution soon,” he said. ”I need you.”

”Yes, Master.”

Light exploded.

The World Tree radiated blinding brilliance as its form began to change.

Roots extended through space itself.

Ethan felt power surge violently through his body.

The World Tree was directly connected to his foundation.

The stronger it became, the more terrifying the feedback he received.

Ethan began to move.

He vanished from one location and appeared in another.

Again and again.

Countless prying eyes were attempting to trace his karma.

Four hours later, the light peaked.

The World Tree completed its evolution.

Instantly, Ethan felt it.

His Origin Paragon strength surged violently.

Breaking through.

Ascending.

Transforming.

His power rose like a tsunami.

Ethan had entered the Eternal Sovereign realm.
